...frantically tries to cram half of the book into his brain while the other ROTC students are huddled in the back, trying to stay warm while quizzing each other on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Finally the shuttle reaches its destination, and everyone walks briskly through the rain, hurdling the huge puddles on the way to the military science building across the campus. After collecting the test papers, the gregarious lecturer, fresh off the submarine, chats about water feed supply pumping while reminiscing about his latest eight-month stint under water. During announcements, he reminds the class about...
...just use the art part of my brain but allowed me to use the other part of my brain, the common sense part. You're always thinking ahead because theater you're indoors, in a black room all day, but when you're doing a film it could rain when you have to film an outdoor scene.

The army's tots-to-teens fighters revere their boy leaders as bulletproof messiahs...
...nuts, and Herzog had to be a bit eccentric to keep casting him; the five films they made together turned their friendship into a holy war. Yet the combustion produced amazing adventures: Aguirre, the Wrath of God, in which Kinski goes berserk in the Peruvian rain forest, and Nosferatu the Vampire, with the actor as a pathetic, rodentoid Dracula. This documentary, a gallivanting time trip through a bolder film era, is Herzog's final collaboration with Kinski: an act of love and exorcism...
